: wanna hear something interesting ?
A 1968 Buick 350 cylinder head weighs 51 lbs bare. With the valves, springs and retainers, probably closer to 54 lbs.
A 1969 Chevelle bucket seat, complete with headrest, weighs 55 lbs.
It's interesting how I pick up heavy cylinder heads and carry them around with one hand and yet a bucket seat seams so much harder to pick up and move around and they weigh the same.
Later on I'll weigh a 350 Pont head, a 350 Olds head and a BBC head.
Anyone want to know what something weighs? I've got a lot of iron around here.

that and the only places to grab a seat by are really thin pieces of metal and they dig into your hand making it feel heavier because it's exerting more PSI on your flesh.

I don't know. It would take me way too long to get them all out.
Chris R Oct 3rd, 06, 3:04 AM Its all about the size and even distribution of weight.

Oh, I know. I just thought it was interesting as I was weighing these things before packaging to get an idea of the weight.
When you look at a cylinder head next to a bucket seat and realize that the bucket seat weighs the same, it just looks odd.
These darned old cylinder heads are heavy.
